Whittaker was Ingham's nephew and families of the two men subsequently became closely intertwined through marriages within the family. The wine interests were sold in the 1840s but Joseph Whittaker went on to build and operate two icons of Palermo,
The Grand Hotel et des Palmes and the Villa Malfitano. Joseph Isaac Spadafora Whittaker was a son of Joseph Whittaker, he was born in 1850, so he was only 20 years old when he received this letter from Rotherham. (ImageA) (ImageB)
